3.Hide and seek
If your dog knows that “find it” or a similar command means to go look for something hidden, then hide and go seek is a great indoor game to have fun with that command. To play, just show your dog what it is you’re going to hide — like a favorite toy, or even a person! — and then put him somewhere he can’t see you. Hide the item, then go get your dog and tell him to find it. Give him vocal clues if he needs help, like “gooooood” when she gets closer or “uh ooohhh” when he gets farther afield. Give hints if needed, by pointing or walking toward the hiding place, until your dog really has a grasp of what this game is all about. When he finds the hidden object, make a really big deal out of how brilliant he is. Make the praise worth all the effort he put into tracking down that object. Eventually, he’ll catch on to what the game is about and get faster and faster about looking and finding.
